Tough Like Tammy
Together, we’re raising $25,000. In return, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund will invest $50,000 directly into Southern California, bringing lifesaving cancer care to under-resourced women. Thanks to your support, we're over 60% of the way to our goal!
At the heart of this movement is Tammy Blackburn—a stage 4 cancer thriver, fierce advocate, and the inspiration behind this powerful initiative. The Tough Like Tammy Campaign isn’t just about raising money. It’s about raising hope through: Play4Kay game activations that inspire and unite communities, direct support for women battling cancer, investment into the local communities to offering hope and healing to those who need it most.
You are invited to donate to the Tough Like Tammy campaign in any amount throughout the entire women’s basketball regular season. You can select a specific Big West program to support and watch the leaderboard for your favorite team grow into wins for Play4Kay.
Tammy will be a part of the effort, donating for every offensive rebound in Big West women's basketball games through the final month of the regular season which should amount to approximately $600 by the end of the campaign. She hopes the Big West players will be "Tough Like Tammy" and make her pay!
Should you choose to support an individual program with a pledge per board, each team is expected to pull down around 100-150 offensive rebounds in the final month of play.
This is more than a campaign—it's a movement of strength, unity and service. With YOU on our team, we are unstoppable.
TOGETHER, we are louder, stronger and courageous beyond measure.
BE TOUGH LIKE TAMMY!
